Broadcast Journalist and the host of Johnnie’s Bite on 3FM, Johnnie Beresford Hughes has descended heavily on the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education.
According to Johnnie Hughes, the time with which parents must effectively prepare to support their children’s first year of education in the SHS following the release of the school placement it just two days.
Speaking on his program Johnnie’s Bite on 3FM, he said, “Nobody would be talking about the quality, and parents are going through it, the portals are opened you do self-placement and in two days you are supposed to cough out the money and take your children to school and then everybody is quiet”.
He revealed that when he was in school parents had a breathing space of about three to four months to plan for a new academic year.
Johnnie Hughes further added, “Today somebody writes an exam before the exam scripts are even marked for them to know that you have passed or failed, they say the person has been promoted to the next class the next day.
What kind of assessment went into it, and then now you are going to bring in form one, and the boarding schools will tell you that when the children come they spend time cleaning, the current form one who are going to form two in this very last term I am told spend about just three weeks in school”, he reiterated.
Johnnie Hughes questioned the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education on how they educate the next generation of Ghana.
The Broadcaster asked, “So how are we educating the next generation to be able to take over the reins of this country and to compete effectively and efficiently with other people in other countries, and as global citizens, how are we doing that?”
“The Ghana education service and the Ministry of Education is this the best you could have done for our children and the learners and their parents?”, He asked.
